Generally the panel favors shows with multiple songs that have high replay value, and bigger tentpole style jams will win out over flow. This doesn't mean that a "flow" show is bad, or wasn't a blast to attend, but that the rankings are based on what was laid down on tape at the show.

The intention of this post is not to shit on your memories of a perfect day at Blossom, Alpine, or Dallas but to point out which shows had the best musical moments of 2015. But as we used to say on rec.music.phish, YMMV!
